De
Hoop Fathers' Day Weekend is a Family Affair
Every year is a new challenge: How to spoil Dad in the best
way possible?
This year, gather the family on the weekend of 15 - 17 June and
take a drive to the magnificent De Hoop Nature Reserve. The team at De Hoop knows how to help create
special memories and has put together a diverse and full package for the
weekend.
Apart from the magnificent natural surrounds, the pure
country air and the delicious silence, De Hoop will be offering the following:
- An incredibly special rate of R995 per four sleeper cottage (minimum 2 night stay)
- This includes a free guided Bird and Fynbos Walk for the family along the Vlei (normally R400)
- Free 3 course dinner for Dad in the Fig Tree Restaurant on Saturday evening
- Free concert during dinner by the brilliant violinist Ivo Ivanov, who will entertain with popular light classical and movie favourites.
- Family can join Dad for this wonderful dinner and music evening at only R185 per head (half price for children under 12)
The rest of the weekend can be filled with a variety of
activities. A
delicious Potje Dinner will be
available on Friday evening (98.00 pp, children under 12 half price) around a
bonfire in the Courtyard. We’ll also be
offering a delectable Father’s Day lunch at the Fig Tree Restaurant (R95.00 pp children under
12 half price).
There are plenty of activities available at De Hoop apart
from the free Guided Bird And Fynbos Walk. The Guided Mountain Bike Trail will
give more energetic family members a chance of cycling amongst game and Fynbos and the Interpretive Marine Walk takes participants on an exploration of the coastal rock
pools and sandy beaches while a qualified guide points out intriguing marine
life you may never have noticed before. At this time of the year, whale
sightings are almost guaranteed, too. If
you aren't feeling that energetic, there are Quad
Bike Trails on offer too, and gentle Guided Star Gazing at
night.
Ivo Ivanov was introduced to the violin, by his father,
also a violinist, at the age of four.
During his years at Sofia Music School he was a member of the
Philharmonic Pioneer Orchestra, consisting of the youngest musicians in the
world; with whom he had the privilege to play under the baton of Leonard
Bernstein in New York in 1979. Ivo’s
vibrant career has involved working with the SABC National Symphony Orchestra,
Pretoria State Theatre, numerous chamber music groups, performing solo concerts
and making recordings. Some of these include: annual performances with Sunset
Serenade at the Kruger National Park, for over 10 years; recordings for William
Kentridge installations; playing with the Johannesburg Philharmonic Orchestra
(JPO), Johannesburg Festival Orchestra (JFO), and the Johannesburg Music
Initiative (JMI).
